It was assumed that Royal Enfield would launch its much anticipated classic 650 at Motoverse 2024; however, Royal Enfield has decided to postpone the launch to 2025. It seems that RE wants to focus on its newly launched Goan-themed 350 cc bike, the Goan Classic 350. 350 cc bikes are more in demand in the Indian market as compared to the 650 cc due to a more economic-orientated customer base rather than power-orientated. Lets see what both RE Goan Classic 350 and RE classic 650 offer to the customers.
